DISEASES OF CATTLE. 



same solution. If the stoppage be at the point of the teat, dip the Teat Plug 

 into the Badger Balm and pass it into the teat far enough to cause the little 

 bulb to enter the teat. When this is done the plug will be retained and should be 

 allowed to remain from one milking to another, and the treatment continued until 

 milking becomes perfectly natural and easy. 



If the stricture be higher or at the base of the teat, a Teat Expander (see illus- 

 tration) must be passed up through the stricture. After it is in position, the center 

 part of the expander must be pressed upon. This will spread the upper part of the 

 expander sufficiently to expand the stricture. However, this instrument should not 

 be allowed to remain more than from one-half hour to an hour at a treatment. A 

 Teat-Bistoury may be used in the same manner. Badger Balm should be applied to 

 the instrument before inserting. The hands of the operator and whole udder of the 

 cow should be thoroughly washed before the operation is begun. Cleanliness must 

 be given strict attention in these cases or the results will not be favorable.

TEAT SORE. 



This common form of sore teats may be treated by applying Badger Balm, 

 should be done after milking, leaving the teats in a nice, clean condition so 

 heal between milkings. 



See Prescription No. 69, page 177. 



TEAT WARTS. 



Teat Warts are small growths which adhere to teats in small or 

 numbers. Treatment consists in touching the little warts with Wartine, according to 

 directions. This should be done while cow is dry.
